David Silva says the Manchester City players, not Roberto Mancini, must accept responsibility for the club's early European exit.

A derby defeat to Manchester United last weekend has left City six points adrift of the Red Devils in the Premier League title race and Silva admits retaining their crown would represent a significant achievement for City from this position.
A man who has won the European Championship and World Cup with his country, added: "It would be right up there with all the other big competitions that I've won.
"Winning the Premier League is seen as a big thing. It would be a great achievement to retain it. I've been lucky I've won a lot of medals but I'd still like to win more."
